drilling caves in driftwood

I need to move next month for a new job and am thinking that I should take advantage of the move to drill some caves into the large pieces of driftwood in my 125 gal. tank. My question is whether or not my plecos are likely to use caves that may be drilled at a angle? As I look at the wood in the ...

Re: Catfish in need of good homes

I want to wish you the best of luck finding a home for the fish locally but also want to try to make it clear that I always assumed if you were to choose to re-home any of them with me that I would drive to you to pick them up, and would very happily drop off the cories in Richmond with sdm, if you ...

Re: Catfish in need of good homes

I would be very glad to work with this idea from sdm of dropping of the corys in Richmond. I would need to drive right through there and since I once lived in Richmond for 15 years I know the town well.Now if we can find somebody else along Rt 64 to adopt the featherfins we can rehome the whole bunch.

Re: Catfish in need of good homes

Hi AWUGOD, I would be interested in the plecos if you might consider seperating them from the corys and featherfins. My profile here on planetcatfish still has me located in Mass. but in reality I live near Charlottesville, Va, I moved last Nov. I've just posted pictures of my tanks and some of my ...

how do I create species list

I've been trying to add my fish tanks on this website. I didn't have any problem creating the profile for the tanks themselves under My Aquaria but when I go to populate the species list I cannot seem to find a way to create the list. I have gone to My Aquaria, then clicked on the link to add my ...

Re: pl*co vs. leporinus

Good things can come from change. I originally bought the leporinus quite cheap at 1 1/2 inches long and my favorite LFS agreed to take the whole group at 7 inches and give me a beautiful new L204 in trade. I am feeling pretty good about it but still will have to wreck the tank tomorrow to catch the ...

Re: pl*co vs. leporinus

Yes, they are l.fasciatus. I was charmed by the youtube videos of wilds plecos while a school of them grazed in the same river bottom, and they have been a beautiful fish in the tank, but nobody gets to bite my suckermouths and hang out for long.

pl*co vs. leporinus

I am wondering if anyone has experiance keeping pl*ecos and banded leporinus together. In my 125 gal. tank I have raised a group of 5 leporinus to about 7 inches in length and have loved having them, however my main focus in the tank has been the mixed collection of 19 pl*ecos, and I love them a lot ...

Re: Help!! Megalodoras Uranoscopus not EATING?

Does he have a good place to hide? Mine rarely moves from the same spot, fortunately right next to the front corner of the tank. He likes to wedge himself tightly between rocks and just waits for me to bring food to him. Even with lights off he very rarely moves away from his cave. Earthworms are an ...
